When Pan Geng moved to Yin, I initiated Jian Shang

Chapter 30 Xin Qu sings the red face

The so-called business is actually about earning a premium from poor information.

Xinqu trades with others, often asking about the material shortages of various tribes, as well as the surplus in the hands of each tribe, and finally sums it up to find a way to coordinate the shortfalls between tribes, and finally earn this part of the profit.

This method is not clever, but it is indeed very profitable.

Similarly, the Akaishi tribe is a closed area and generally does not communicate with the outside world. Others come to them.

After all, except for salt, they basically have no shortage of supplies.

Once you actively communicate with the outside world, you will inevitably expose your territory and situation to the eyes of outsiders.

If outsiders were defeated or planned to plunder, they might find them.

This becomes a crisis.

Therefore, the objects that the Akaishi tribe often trades with are limited.

Limited means that there are few sources of information. As long as there are few sources, information verification will require a lot of cost.

If the Chishi tribe was willing to pay such a cost, they would not stay in the mountains of Huairou and Miyun. Instead, they would find a plain to settle down like the Youxin clan.

Therefore, Xin Qu had a hunch that this trade should be a profitable one.

Following the members of the Chishi tribe who welcomed them, Xinqu walked through the forest road they opened, and looked at the valley grassland that suddenly opened up. Thousands of cattle and sheep were like clouds, slowly chewing the green patches of wheat with ears, and his eyes were filled with tears. Look straight.

What the hell!

He originally thought that the Akaishi tribe would come only a little bit, not many, but he never expected that they would be everywhere.

"What kind of grass is this?"

Xinqu asked Chi Shiqu, who was leading the way, and Chi Shiqu looked at it and said, "Humans can also eat the grass given to cattle and sheep, but it is not as delicious as millet. It is usually used to satisfy the hunger of slaves."

"That's it." Xin Qu nodded as if he understood, and walked through the river valley and walked up the slope. Xin Qu even looked back for a while to confirm the area.

There are at least more than [-] acres of piedmont alluvial fans. If half of the area can produce wheat, the harvest here will be quite a lot!

"Everyone, please."

Chishiqu took Xinqu and others into the tribe, drove wooden stakes into the soil, and surrounded them into a small town.

The core area is located on the mountainside, with mountain top pools and streams as its core. It is a typical mountain village structure.

At the foot of the mountain, they are distributed in river valleys and slopes.

To the north, there are figures cutting wood, probably storing firewood for the winter. To the south, you can see shepherds, to the west is a handicraft workshop area, and to the east is a millet field, roughly only about a thousand acres.

It is very consistent with the food source structure of the Akaishi tribe.

It can basically meet the living needs of more than 1000 people. After all, agriculture, animal husbandry, forestry and fishery are one area. In this warm period, feeding a thousand people is not a problem at all.

It’s a pity that the wheat everywhere has not been utilized.

Xinqu walked along the road, glanced around, and complained to Xingchun and others: "There are too few people, and there are not many millet fields. I'm afraid the other party won't sell millet, so just sell whatever you want and leave."

The three pedestrian brothers looked at each other and smiled, then each came to Xinqu's side to comfort him: "Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, I know you are in a hurry, but it's business!"

The two "travelers" from the Chishi Tribe, listening to their repeated comfort to Xin Qu, suddenly started to have concerns in their hearts.

This person has the Xin family, and is either rich or noble.

"Haha, there are pedestrians from the Xin family waiting for you!"

A muscular man suddenly walked out of the house and gave Chun, the pedestrian at the front, a bear hug: "Who led the team this time? How much salt did you bring?"

"Ahem, Chief." A reminder sounded from behind the strong man.

Xin Qu looked over and could see that the other person's hair was tied casually into a ponytail and his beard was trimmed appropriately.

Wearing a linen short robe, somewhat similar to a short brown, but the hem is very long, just covering the entire area above the knees, with two hairy legs exposed.The belt is made of snakeskin wrapped around python. There are frog patterns on the back of the clothes. I don’t know whether they were dyed or painted. I wear decent straw sandals under my feet. When I speak and act, I have an air of air.

With this outfit and temperament, it seems that he is either rich or noble, and his words can suppress the chief, which means that he or the force behind him is the real master of the Akaishi tribe.

Xinqu calculated this man's position in the Chishi tribe, and at the same time he was surprised at this man's idleness.

Only those who do not need to engage in labor production will have free time to take care of themselves.

Especially the care of beard and hair.

In this era, there is no such thing as bundling hair.

Businessmen from Dayi in the south generally chop off the root of their hair with a bronze knife, or tie it with a rope. The more sophisticated people will tie it into a ponytail, but more ordinary people still have a "middle school girl's head" and then use rope to tie it on both sides. Just don't block your view.

The person in front of me obviously has his own aesthetics.

However, he may have recently had the need to have children.

Totems such as frogs, toads, pigs, and snakes are often linked to fertility worship.

After all, in this era, increasing the population is a big deal, and when technology was underdeveloped, these animals were often sacrificed to seek prosperity for the tribe and descendants.

Generally, utensils and sculptures are made for worship.

If it is worn directly on the body, it is either the totem of their Red Rock tribe, or it is in urgent need.

However, the totem of the Akaishi tribe is a red "mountain" shaped stone, with the flag hanging right in front of them.

Upon hearing the reminder from behind, Chief Akaishi quickly let go of Xingren Chun: "Haha, look at me, look at me, you guys have come a long way and you need to have a good rest. I have prepared a banquet, please come with me."

Xingrenchun looked at Xinqu.

Xin Qu heard this and shook his head lightly: "There is no need for a banquet. The clan has assigned us a task. Time is tight and the task is heavy. Let's just deal directly."

Chief Akaishi was slightly startled, and the frog man next to him frowned: "Who is your Excellency?"

"There's Xin, Xin Qu, the leader of the caravan." Xin Qu casually gave himself a name, "What's your name? Before you ask someone else's name, why don't you tell me your name first?"

The frog man was stunned, coughed slightly and said, "My name is Frog."

Xinqu raised his eyebrows but said nothing.

Xing Renchun hurriedly took a step forward and explained: "There have been a lot of things going on in the clan recently. Our Xin clan has sent out many soldiers to attack the Guzhu clan with the Dayi merchants.

Therefore, it is necessary to prepare some supplies in advance to deal with possible crises in the east.

Regardless of the outcome, it’s always good to be prepared. "

Xingren's eyes brightened a little, Frog twitched his beard, his eyes moved slightly, and then he smiled and said: "That seems very urgent, okay, let's take a look at the goods."

"You can look at the goods. But as agreed, I only want millet, cattle, sheep, horses, dried meat and so on." There is no salt shipped to the tribes near the sea. I have salt from the Xin family, which should be the last batch to arrive at the Akaishi tribe this year."

Chief Akaishi's expression changed slightly, he didn't expect Xinqu to be so straightforward.

"Qu, harmony brings wealth." Xingrenchun quickly suppressed the tense atmosphere and sang with a white face.

"The clan has tight tasks. There are not only the Chishi tribe in the nearby mountains, but also the Lindi tribe in the southeast, Tufang tribe in the northwest, Rong tribe in the southwest, Shan, and the Ji tribe in the south. Where is there no shortage of salt?

I looked around and saw that the Akaishi tribe didn't seem to have much savings. After the exchange, they turned back and went to other places.

If I didn't want to give Aqi face, I wouldn't even bother to come here! "

Xin Qu crossed his arms with a look of disdain.

"Okay, okay, you're here, so you can't ruin other people's good intentions." Xingrenchun continued singing Bai Lian, and then smiled and said in the language of the Red Rock tribe, "Qu's family members have a high position in the tribe. Not low, I have a bad temper."

The implication is that he is ignorant, stupid, and easy to cheat. As long as you follow him, you will definitely get a lot of good profits.
